The Foundation Le Corbusier, universal beneficiary of the architect, inherited all of his properties after his death, including his art collection and his personal and professional archives.
The Foundation’s collection includes major works of his personal production, notably La Cheminée (1918) which he considers to be his first painting, and works by artists he met during his life. Since its creation, the Foundation Le Corbusier collects all the publications and academic works on Le Corbusier as well as all the reprints of his works. Covering all the artist’s creative periods, the Foundation’s collection provides a global approach to the man and his plastic, architectural and literary work. This unique collection places the Foundation at the heart of research on Le Corbusier.
